The ICGEB CRP Grants programme was established in 1988 and aims to stimulate collaborative research in Member States and with the ICGEB Component laboratories, promote training of young scientists, and facilitate the creation of appropriate research facilities. The programme supports research projects in basic science, human healthcare, industrial and agricultural biotechnology and bioenergy. A call for applications is launched yearly.
Grants are awarded to contribute to the implementation of outstanding scientific research projects. An important element of successful applications is the feasibility of the proposed project within the designated timeframe (maximum 36 months). The maximum annual contribution from ICGEB is Euro 25,000.
Applicants for research grant proposals (identified as “CRPs”) should hold positions at Universities or Research Institutes in any of the ICGEB Member States.
International collaboration is an essential feature of all ICGEB grants and must be fully integrated into the project, detailing the exact role of the collaborators and explaining why this collaboration is relevant for the success of the project. Collaboration with any of the ICGEB groups (in Trieste, New Delhi or Cape Town) is not a mandatory requirement for the grants but is considered an additional asset. Particular attention will be given to: i) projects addressing issues of interest for specific geographic regions; ii) projects presented by groups collaborating across more than one country; iii) projects entailing new rather than existing collaboration; and iv) projects involving ICGEB PIs in the three components.
Investigating groups do not qualify for submission of applications:
A special category of CRP-ICGEB Early Career Return Grants is intended to fund young researchers with an outstanding track record, who have spent min. 2 years abroad and have recently returned to an ICGEB Member State to establish independent laboratories.
Applicants for Early Career Return Grants should be no more than 40 years of age at the time of application.
Applicants should have returned to an ICGEB Member State (except Italy) no more than 2 years before applying.
